New lattice approaches to the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule

Abstract

Lattice QCD should allow a derivation of the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule from first principles, but numerical calculations to date have been plagued by a variety of problems. After a brief review of these problems, we present several new methods for calculating $K\to \pi \pi$ amplitudes. These are designed for Wilson fermions, though they can be used also with staggered fermions. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. We show how problems of operator mixing can be greatly reduced by using point-split hadronic currents, and how CP violating parts of the $K\to \pi \pi$ amplitudes can be calculated by introducing a fake top quark. Many of the methods can also be applied to the calculation of two body non-leptonic B-meson decays.
